It emphasizes God's sovereignty, majesty, and authority over all creation. This term is often used in doxologies, praises, and declarations of God's supreme power and glory.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, the title "Most High" was used to distinguish the God of Israel from other deities, asserting His supremacy and unique position as the one true God. This title reflects the monotheistic belief of the Israelites and their understanding of God as the ultimate authority over heaven and earth. In the Greco-Roman world, where polytheism was prevalent, the use of "hupsistos" in reference to the God of Israel would have been a clear statement of His unparalleled status.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>superl. akin to hupsi- (on high)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>highest, most high<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>highest (4), most high (9).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5310: ὕψιστος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὕψιστος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ὑψιστη</span>, <span class="greek2">ὕψιστον</span> (superlative; from <span class="greek2">ὕψι</span> on high), in Greek writings mostly poetic, <span class="accented">highest, most high</span>; <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> of place: neuter <span class="greek2">τά</span> <span class="greek2">ὑψιστα</span> (the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">מְרומִים</span>), the highest regions, i. e. heaven (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ὑψηλός</span></span>, a.), <a href="/interlinear/matthew/21-9.htm">Matthew 21:9</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/11-10.htm">Mark 11:10</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/2-14.htm">Luke 2:14</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/19-38.htm">Luke 19:38</a>, (<a href="/interlinear/job/16-19.htm">Job 16:19</a>; <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/57-15.htm">Isaiah 57:15</a>). <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> of rank: of God, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> <span class="greek2">Θεός</span> <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> <span class="greek2">ὕψιστος</span>, the most high God, <a href="/interlinear/mark/5-7.htm">Mark 5:7</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/8-28.htm">Luke 8:28</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/16-17.htm">Acts 16:17</a>; <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/7-1.htm">Hebrews 7:1</a>; (<a href="/interlinear/genesis/14-18.htm">Genesis 14:18</a>; <span class="abbreviation">Philo</span> de leg. ad Gaium § 23); and simply <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> <span class="greek2">ὕψιστος</span>, <span class="accented">the Most High,</span> <a href="/interlinear/acts/7-48.htm">Acts 7:48</a>; mid without the article (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, § 124, 8 b. note; (<span class="manuref">WH</span>.
